Unsafe speed causes fatal UTV crash in southeast Oklahoma

ALBION, Okla. – According to a report, unsafe speed was the cause of a UTV crash that killed a 24-year-old Oklahoma man.

It happened on November 17, at approximately 9:20 p.m., on private property near Albion.

Officials say the driver of a 2016 Polaris Ranger, William Wagoner, was traveling on a private gravel road with his two passengers, both 23-year-old males, when the vehicle “departed the roadway to the left.”

Wagoner and one of his passengers were ejected. The UTV then spun 180 degrees, coming to a rest on the driver’s side.

A report states Wagoner’s condition at the time of the crash was normal, and an unsafe speed is what caused the crash. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
